Application filed April 23. I893. (Nn modelJ I have made a new and useful Improvement in Door Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the hanger by means of which sliding doors are opened and closed. The object of my invention is to furnish a device by the aid of which the door may be moved to any desired position with a minimum of friction and without danger of becoming detached from its track; and it consists in the mechanism hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim. l

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a door-hangermounted on its track, showing the working of my invention. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a side View of the'fianged wheel with a portion broken away in order to show its construction, and Fig. 4 is a central section of the same.

Like letters of reference made use of in the several figures indicate like parts wherever used.

Referring particularly to said drawings, B represents the drop to the hanger, to which the door is attached.

a is the cross-head, and a the intermediate cross-head. Said (t and a form the rider-bar for the wheel.

a n are bolts for the purpose of firmly attaching the two sections of the rider-bar, and

, also to support the drop B.

e e are bolts to fasten the door to the drop B. d is an iron strip attachment for the ridershown in Fig. 1.

g g are stops to prevent the wheel running off the rider-bar.

It will be 110- ticed in this connection that the wheel consists .of three independent parts or sections connected together and revolving freely upon the boltspindle D, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4.

E is the beam supporting the track.

R is a wooden rail; and S S are angle-iron plates attaching the beam E and the wooden rail R, and for the tread of the wheel to travel over, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

I am aware that a wheel consisting of independent parts or sections has been anticipated by Patent No. 236,006, issued to one Drake December 28, 1880, and I make no claim to same. I am also aware that a track consisting of double-flanged metallic plates is not novel.
